Clinical Trial Summary

Pain experienced before and after surgery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy adversely affects physiological parameters and sleep quality. This randomized controlled study was conducted to examine the effects of preoperative and postoperative inhalation lavender and geranium essential oil on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy on pain, sleep, and physiological parameters. The study was completed with 3 groups and 150 people, namely the geranium oil group (n=50), lavender oil group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The ethics committee approval, informed consent of the individuals and the institutional permission were obtained. In the study, data were collected using the patient identification form, Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale and visual analog scale. Chi-square test,repeated measures one-way analysis of variance, and Spearman correlation analysis tests were used to assess the data. In the comparisons, the value of p<0.05 was accepted as significant.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Physiological parameter (Blood Pressure)	The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the patients were recorded by the researchers the day before, the day of surgery, and the day after surgery.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
Other	Physiological parameter(Heart rate)	The heart rate of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
Other	Physiological parameter(Respiratory rate)	The respiratory rate of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
Other	Physiological parameter(SPO2)	The SPO2 of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
Primary	Visual Analog Scale	The range of 0 (zero) and 10cm is determined on a ruler. 0 (zero) means "no pain" and 10 means "worst possible pain". The patient is asked to mark the place that expresses the pain on the line. The distance marked by the patient is measured by taking the initial distance of zero.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
Secondary	The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire	The Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire is a 6-item scale that evaluates the depth of sleep, the time to fall asleep, the frequency of awakening, the time to stay awake, the quality of sleep, and the noise level in the environment. Each item is evaluated on a chart with scores between 0 and 100. If the total mean score obtained from the scale is between "0-25", it indicates very bad sleep, between "26-75" indicates moderate sleep, and between "76-100" indicates very good sleep. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the sleep quality of the patient is considered.	change from baseline score at the end of three day
